The Planet and The World
For us to communicate effectively, we need to make sure we understand the terms we're using in the sameway. For our expanding Consciousness, an expanded vocabulary isextremely useful in communication. I'm going to give you what may benew ways of looking at the words planet and world, though the waysI'm using them aren't necessarily outside of the dictionary'sboundaries. Usually, people don't consider any difference between thePlanet and the world, and use the terms interchangeably, but let'sreally look at what people mean.
Now, imagine a map of the world. It's got the natural boundaries of the oceans and the land, but it's alsogot something you wont find on the actual Planet, lines dividing upthe map and the names of the places. The world contains differentnations, different states, different seas, and different oceans.Everything divided up and categorized so people can believe theyunderstand it. Now think of an image of the Planet taken from space.Looks a lot different from the map of the world, doesn't it? First,there aren't lines on the Planet dividing up the land telling peoplewho owns what. Nor are the lands and the oceans named, they simplyare. And the really big difference between the Planet and the worldis that the Planet is a sphere, while the world is flat. The world issomething you can transcribe onto a flat piece of paper, you can'treally do that with the Planet.
This may not seem very important to most people, yet this difference is enormous. It means the worlddoesn't really exist, while the Planet does. It's a simple fact thatpeople's view of the world can vary greatly. There are still manycountries that don't agree on the names of the countries, where theboundaries between countries should be drawn, or whether certainother countries exist at all . The variables that make up the worldaren't even agreed upon by the people who make up the world, yet howcan a person deny what makes up the Planet? Really, just about everyperson on this Planet lives within a different world, yet we're alltogether on the same Planet.
The world of a homeless man on the street varies greatly from the world of a millionaire CEO. Yet thePlanet they live upon is still the same. The world is only anillusion people project upon the Planet. They even try to alter thePlanet, putting up things like fences, trying to bend the Planet tofit their image of the world. Yet the Planet is still beautiful andfree, while the world can be a very ugly thing. The world divides,while we're all here together on the Planet. People can each havetheir own world, yet the Planet we all share together. In the worldyou can be totally alone even though you're surrounded by people. Theworld can be hell, the Planet is Heaven. The Planet is a LivingConsciousness, the world is dead.
In the world there's wars, terrorism, corporations, and television. The Planet has different seasons. Who'sto say the beauty of the aspen's golden hues in the fall is any lessimportant than the Dow Jones Industrial Average? There's thedifference between the Planet and the world. The stock market ischaos, the world is chaos, the Planet is sublime peace. The worldtries to deny the validity of the Planet, the Planet can't even seethe world. The world doesn't really exist, it's an illusion inpeople's minds. They try to hold onto the Planet within theirillusions and miss the Planet altogether. When people let go of theworld, they'll realize their Oneness with the Planet, and the rest ofCreation for that matter.
Love,
Will, Mother & Father God

This is sort of in harmony with what I've been sharing with people for some time now.....and that is to look beyond the semantics a person uses (humans really get hung up on words) and listen/feel the Spirit of what is being said. It can make all the difference in how one perceives what another is saying. We have a tendency to react emotionally to another's emotions and/or even just the particular words they are using. Some words have a real "trigger" effect on us.
Anyway, the 1st principle (of 7 principles) of Huna says: 'THE WORLD IS WHAT YOU THINK IT IS.'
And the 2nd principle says: 'THERE ARE NO LIMITS.'
Is the dirt there Mexico, the trees or the rocks? Do they make Mexico Mexico or is Mexico just a concept in people's minds? If I pick up a stone in Mexico and throw it across the border, did the stone just become part of the United States? Did anything truly integral to the stone change at all?
I don't comment much on your posts, but this one certainly calls for a comment. This has got to be one of your better thought provoking posts yet, it makes a lot of sense without the needless mumbo jumbo, it flows well and is an easy, enjoyable read.
